Dear Reader:
Because I am moving, I may not be near internet for a long time. Hence, I am trying to update a bit more frequently on this story and my other long story that I am working on, Healing Wounds: Extras.
Special thanks to my beta-reader, The Scheming Turtle

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Some days later, Lithuania was reading a book, when he glanced at a neary calendar. It was hard for him to read it from the distance, but something told him that he should take a closer look. Feeling a frozen fear creep over him like a wet scarf, Lithuania stood up, stepped over to the calendar and inspected it. Seeing what day it was, he quietly gasped and dropped his book in fear. According to that calendar, which was right in front of Lithuania's face now, there was only one month left to woo Belarus before she was allowed to leave him permanently.
He hyperventilated and took a step back, running his fingers through his shoulder-length brown hair fretfully. That all he had was one month left terrified him. What if he failed? Would Belarus ever consider him as a husband? Maybe they could be just friends... but would that satisfy him after being so close to winning her as his wife? He paced around the room as he contemplated all this and more.
What do I do? What is there left to do? I have tried everything to win her heart, what more can I do?.. Maybe we could just be friends... but I love her so much... could I really just stay her friend after all this?... I... wait a minute! What am I doing? I still have another month! Like Poland said, I can still win her heart. If I got this far surely I can still convince her to love me!
With this in mind, Lithuania calmed down and breathed normally. Eyeing the calendar again, he set his teeth and determined to win her heart within the days left to come.
Dear Reader
Please do not spoil anything in a review, thanks.
I do appreciate all the reviews, by the way. At this point, I have almost 200, and this story is less than six months old. Thank you all so much for the input and support. I needed it.
